i have still not got covid19 because i take vitamin d.

Or maybe you're just lucky and haven't been exposed to it yet.

i take 20000 iu plus vit k  magnesium and 30 mg zinc.

went to a doctor in 2005.




i have been exposed as i felt vaguely ill/weak for a few hours and nothing happened afterwards

Then how do you know it was COVID-19 and not some other illness? Were you ever tested?

Perhaps you were, indeed, lucky. Some people have only mild symptoms.

the ones with high levels of D3 will escape as the cytokine storm is prevented by d3.

So, you went to a doctor in 2005 for a disease that only emerged in 2019?
Are you being very unclear or very irrational?

WHO banned it from test trials
Well, do you understand why?
IT DIDN:T WORK.
Is that a complicated idea somehow?
There weas no sensble basis for assuming it would work.
Someone took a punt on it.
It failed.

That's common sense, not a conspiracy.

That's not what I asked. I asked if mega-dose levels are required to stop the cytokine storm or if normal levels are enough.

The consensus from recent and previous studies indicate at least 1000 to 10000 are required. The range is wide as d3 blood levels vary with the amount of vit k2 and magnesium which helps absorption.

This i could take 10000 i.u but be low on the co-factors and my blood levels be still low and conversely I might take 1000 and have adequate levels if k2 and mg is adequate

the magic figure seems to be over 45 in the blood for virtual immunity from covid19.

Are there other people on them too?

Have they all died?
Do they all take lots of vitamin D?
Or does the evidence of your own eyes show that many people who don't take the pills are still not dying from the virus?
Many people are just lucky.

So, because you might simply be one of the lucky ones, the fact that you haven't got it isn't really evidence of anything is it?

But you don't see that- because you refuse to consider the actual evidence properly- even when it's the evidence which you present.

I don't recall research studies saying that vitamin D will avert a cytokine storm in Covid patients.
There's a whole lot which shows that better fed patients are healthier or something.
